Yama no Susume...because I was channel surfing and apparently public TV now has a timeslot for moeblobs. Weird, anime was always late-night and it was almost always GiTS SAC or Eva re-runs.

Crawling through hunter x hunter (for some reason you don't pronounce the X), it's okay.

Take a note of all the shows you see mentioned, put their names into random number generator.
Spin the wheel and see what you get.

I liked the weird artsy stuff that went on but wasn't a fan of the plot.

Seemed like they tried to insert drama into a show that just didn't need it.

It's pretty good if you're into cute girls anime.

Technically it's pronounced "Hunter Hunter." For some reason Japanese authors like adding X' in between repeating words or letters (A good example is Highschool D D).

I actually liked the ending, but that's because I caught a bunch of small character moments (Of which the series is full of).

Though, I am annoyed that there's almost no merch of the show. I want figures, damn it!

Knights and Magic (I refuse to call it by the official "Knight's and Magic" spelling) seems good so far.
The protagonist is a cute trap, so my own bias in that regard is definitely a factor, mind you.

My internet is a bit limited where I am at the moment (a mountain resort in western Switzerland that lied about having internet), so I'll start watching Fate/Apocrypha when I get home, if I can't download it (torrent, rather, since firefox keeps failing downloads at the moment, and watching it online on places like Kissanime or Anilinkz isn't going to work with this rubbish internet causing the videos to become unplayable).
Formerly Videssos. Just a femboy-obsessed degenerate. Also interested in history, mythology, fantasy, science fiction, metal and some other stuff.
A little bird told me, "Go, Go! Socialise! Talk to those fine people! And then, KILL EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM! Plunge your knife into their throats when they ain't lookin', and then burn 'em to the ground!"
Well that's silly, isn't it?

The show bombed big in Japan I hear. Not likely we'll get much merch...

Are you ready to go to jail?


Also the Funimation dub folk for Dragon Maid changed the meaning of a scene to turn Lucoa and Tohruu into feminists for no real reason

They changed the wording of a few lines in the 2nd episode too, where Kanna calls Kobayashi a cuckold and a slut, Kobayashi tells her to stop slut shaming her, I don't think it's for political reasons, possibly just because the english dub is directed at an American/Canadian/British/Australian audience, and these changes are meant to be somewhat satirical.

I've watched quite a bit of Gabriel Dropout clips from YouTube. While it's not exactly my type of show and it's highly unlikely I'm going to actually watch it, Satania is far too cute to be just ignored.

Two Yuri shows so far this season.

One uses it as cheap drama fodder, with creepy forced undertones.
The other...well, the translation of this show (Skirt no Naka wa Kedamono Deshita) is "There Was A Beast Inside The Skirt". A dude dresses like a chick, and full on forces himself on a girl.

...I need a drink.

You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

Go back in time. Watch monastical girls like the Haibane. Not sure if there was any gay to pray away to begin with but they'll only care about platonic love and spiritual purification.
